About the story
A family bonded together by love is ripped by the cold and silent swing of death – the death
of a husband and father. A new widow is made from the relics of this loss and she sees life
from divergent vantages both as both a Mother and a custodian of a bereaved household. In a
fleet of times, through labour, tears and pains, through many silent nights and troubled
days, she sees the unripe hours of old age. She bears the pain like sun-baked earth with her
silence within, a heart of grief and slowly she tries to unleash this silence until she is no more.
